Natural gas pipeline project completions increase takeaway capacity in producing regions
Natural gas pipeline projects completed in 2024 increased takeaway capacity by approximately 6.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the U.S. natural gas–producing Appalachia, Haynesville, Permian, and Eagle Ford regions, according to our latest Natural Gas Pipeline Projects tracker. These pipelines deliver natural gas from the producing regions to demand centers in the mid–Atlantic and along the U.S. Gulf Coast:
FEMA Awards Over $1.1 Million to New Hampshire for Laconia Flood Control Project
FEMA Awards Over $1.1 Million to New Hampshire for Laconia Flood Control Project The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending more than $1.1 million to the State of New Hampshire to reimburse the City of Laconia for part of the cost of replacing an undersized culvert with a larger bridge to help avoid future flood damage. The $1,135,411 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) grant will fund the replacement of a culvert on Hillard Road in Laconia with a 21-foot clear span bridge to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding, and decrease overtopping of the roadway during large storm events.
USGS Researchers Join Collaborators at National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts Project Meeting
The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts (NHCI) project aims to document the height, extent, and timing of storm surge and waves as they evolve in the nearshore environment and dissipate across natural and man-made landscapes. The National Oceanic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts project was formed to improve predictions of coastal impacts from landfalling hurricanes by providing more detailed observations of boundary conditions, offshore forcings, and coastal impacts, which reduce the uncertainties in the numerous steps within the offshore-to-onshore prediction process and provide ground-truth data to validate the models. The goal of the project was to

FEMA Provides $9.3 Million For Brigham City Water Line Upgrade Project
FEMA Provides $9.3 Million For Brigham City Water Line Upgrade Project DENVER – FEMA has approved more than $9.3 million in hazard mitigation funding to improve stormwater drainage and flood diversion infrastructure along Box Elder Canyon between Mantua and Brigham City, Utah. This grant will fund eligible construction costs to upgrade concrete water mains and steel piping that are more than 50 years old. The stormwater piping system diverts floodwater away from public and private structures in Brigham City, which has experienced historic flooding events within the last two decades. Existing piping will be replaced with higher quality materials that
